Code Vein offers a variety of customizations. From combat to armor to purely aesthetic aspects, Bandai Namco's latest role-playing game offers great freedom. Due to the flexibility, there are plenty of options for players. Weapons have many options from type to actual weapon choice.
Code Vein All Weapon Types
Code Vein has five weapon categories. These categories determine how weapons work with Gifts and Blood Codes. There is no significant variation between weapons in each category. The Code Vein Wiki covers both the categories and the weapons you'll find in the game.
One-handed swords. These weapons are balanced with a fast and close range attack. These work well for most blood codes. Weapons in this category are pipes, swords, and broadswords.
Two-handed swords. Unlike their one-handed counterparts, these have long range and higher damage, but they sacrifice speed. This category is built around large swordfish.
Spears, Halberds, and Arms have a very long reach, are two-handed, and deal great damage. If you are surrounded, turn towards one of them to make sure you hit all the enemies around you. As the name suggests, you'll find spears, halberds, arms, axes, and a single sickle.
Two-handed hammers. Hammers are slow and heavy, but have good range and damage. Weapons here include hammers and axes.
Bayonet rifles are the final category. These are the long range; thin bladed firearms versatile enough to let you shoot and shoot, however you prefer. Their puncture and slash damage is low compared to other blades, so it's best to stick to where they excel.
Blood codes combine with weapons. Equipping a weapon that doesn't work with your current Blood Code will slow you down and hamper your fight. If you choose a weapon that works with the blood code, your skills will shine and you will find the fight easier. So while swinging an ax all the time might feel satisfying and fruitful, if you run like a thrower, that ax won't do much for you.
